I know how to fight them properly, i.e. parry their rush attack and get behind them. But I'm an impatient asshole so I just attack until I get lucky. Hate those fuckers. Expand Yeah, I can never be bothered with the parry method. I usually just spammed the hell out of magic on them.

drahkon Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Looked up some exp farming spots and coincidentally I've just arrived at the one where you need to smash 11 empty pots to acquire about 150 exp. That's my evening sorted. 1

Think I got to level 10+ just killing the swarm of Heartless over and over again. 1

There's an area with 12 pots. One of them houses a scorpion/bug/weird creature, the others are empty. The one that's occupied can't be moved. Once you've found it, just smash the others and you acquire a total of approx. 150 Tech Points. Move away two screens, come back, rinse and repeat. 1

drahkon Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 Agrabah, Monstro and Halloween Town have been done I wonder how far I am with the story. Speaking of: It's not very good... The bad guys are just a jumbled mess of Disney villains, Riku is the typical Final Fantasy friend/enemy/I'm-doing-my-own-thing-because-fuck-you and everything else just seems completely disjointed (and I'm not talking about how the worlds are connected via a map screen). Hope there's at least some kind of twist coming up. Then again, I've read that the Kingdom Hearts plot becomes ridiculously crazy in later entries, so I should probably enjoy a simple (yet bad) story while I can
Hero-of-Time Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 Nah, the plot in the first game is very basic and kid friendly, hence the heavy emphasis on the Disney villains. As the series goes on the Disney stuff fades away in terms of story relevance and instead just becomes an excuse to travel to different settings. The same goes for the inclusion of FF characters and nods. Eventually the series becomes its own thing. I always hated Halloween Town. I just didn't like the structure of the place. Still, it was a decent area for doing some level grinding, mainly thanks to the high enemy encounter rate in the town square. 1

Not fun at all. Still better than Atlantica, though. When will game developers learn...under water levels are always bad. BAD BAD BAD! (unless it's Rayman Legends.

drahkon Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Screw all the Playstation news. I've reached Hollow Bastion and progressed a bit through the castle.Neverland wasn't too bad. The two bosses were a little annoying, but other than that...much better than Atlantica Still not sure if I wanna go for the Platinum. If I do, I might have to backtrack soon and do some side-questing and material farming. Also, I'm dreading some boss fights on Proud mode already...
Hero-of-Time Posted February 23, 2021 Author Posted February 23, 2021 You said you hate the Gummi Ship sections and if that's still the case just be aware that you have to put a stupid amount of time into it for the platinum. Multiple routes, various ship builds, missions, collecting all the bits and bobs....enjoy! There are a few cheeky builds that can help with some of this but you'll still be spending plenty of time in this mode. As for the bosses on Proud, apart from one or two of them they aren't really that bad. Are you going to at least tackle the secret bosses on the playthrough you're on? 1

Expand Haven't checked where to find 'em, but I assume some of them can be fought against in the coliseum? I'll definitely complete that. Coliseums/battle arenas are my jam in JRPGs 1
drahkon Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Checked out the trophy list and boooohhhhh. If I wanna go for the Platinum I'll have to finish the game two more times. On easy, without changing equipment and in under 15 hours. And on proud. Well...maybe something to do in the future On 2/23/2021 at 11:26 PM, Hero-of-Time said: Multiple routes, various ship builds, missions, collecting all the bits and bobs....enjoy! Expand This doesn't seem too bad in the Final Mix? For the trophy you need to collect 30 blueprints and looking at a list, just collecting the enemy ship blueprints and a few miscellaneous ones will do the trick. I hope I'm not missing something
drahkon Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Looks like I've reached the final dungeon. Which means: Back to the coliseum. There seems to be another cup waiting for me
drahkon Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 I'm in a weird situation. On one hand, I really like the grind and wanna go for the Platinum. On the other, I really don't like the gameplay and just wanna finish the game.

Expand I'd probably move on to a different game first I think I'm gonna try and finish the story tonight and then start Frostpunk which I was able to acquire on the current PSN sale Frostpunk is supposed to be quite stressful so having a grind to fall back on might be nice.

Expand Who am I kidding...there's no escaping the grind Made a list of materials I need for synthesizing items with the help of a guide. Some of those will be a pain to acquire...But it wouldn't be the first time I took on RNG and annoying enemies Regarding the story: I've reached the point of no return. I doubt there will be a big reveal/twist. I actually believe there will be a satisfying conclusion with no real ending that could tease a sequel, even though the game turned into a series. I do wonder, however, how the sequels' plots gained their infamous craziness 1
Hero-of-Time Posted February 27, 2021 Author Posted February 27, 2021 I think every game in the series teases the next entry, even the first game. Most of them have a secret FMV teaser that shows what's on the cards for the next game. 1
drahkon Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Made a bit of material farming progress. Had to go back to Atlantica to acquire a few Frost and Thunder Gems. I HATE THAT PLACE Now it's just a matter of defeating the most annoying enemies...probably gonna take a while. The added bonus of this, however: I level up quite a bit. And given that I have to reach level 100 anyways it's not too bad
